Visionquest by the sea

Crete
18.05.2025 - 29.05.2025

Every life has special times: things change, something stirs in us or breaks over us, something leaves us and we long for orientation.
In order to consciously carry out these transitions, we can set out to find the traces that our soul, our innermost being, lays out for us and thereby receive inspirations that are sustainable and groundbreaking.

Through the millennia and in a wide variety of cultures, the ritual of the Visionquest has been practiced and charged with power and vitality. The memory of this is in our bones, in our genes: to entrust ourselves completely to the wilderness for a while, free from distractions and obligations, without human company and fasting, to allow the connection and dialogue between inner and outer nature to take place unhindered.

What do we find when we explore our own wilderness? What helps us if we don’t know what to do? What strengthens and sustains us? Where does our longing take us to? What does inspiration invite us to do? What do we need to feel alive and whole?
And: What does life want from us?

Nature as our teacher can help us to gain insight into the essence of our own existence and to become more aware of our place in the larger structure of life; the Visionquest offers a professionally supported framework for this.

Whether it’s dealing with global crises or personal growth – we do it for ourselves and for the world.
By bringing our experiences back to the community, we contribute to its renewal and healing.

Place:
Our base camp is located in a pine grove right by the sea, in a bay without road traffic, only accessible by ferry. We sleep under the stars or in a tent. Water, showers and toilets are available to us. If desired, there is also the possibility of taking a room in a nearby guesthouse. In the evening we eat together in Crete’s best taverns, for during the day we have our outdoor kitchen.
A little further along the coast, a valley opens up with cedars and red rocks, oleanders and thyme. That is where you will spend the solo days.

Sequence
Detachment -5 days:
The first four and half days we prepare for the time out and get to know the land, find our place of power and establish the safety system. We turn to what needs support in order to evolve, explore our intention and affirm our alignment. In the circle of human and more-than-human community, we open ourselves to transformational experiences.

Threshold time -4 days:
The four solo days – the heart of the journey – you will be fasting from food, human company, and distractions. You will spend this time with enough water at your place of power. This offers the opportunity for a deep encounter with yourself, Nature and the Divine.
The Visionquest guides are available at all times in the nearby base camp and ensure physical safety and the energetic framework.

Integration -3 days
After returning to base camp, we spend three days together. The stories and experiences of the threshold period are told and heard, their power and wisdom witnessed and appreciated.
The harvest is celebrated and integration into everyday life begins.
